(RTTNews) - Ahead of Monday's holiday for Labor Thanksgiving Day, the Japanese stock market had turned lower again on Friday, one day after ending the four-day losing streak in which it had plummeted more than 2,710 points or 5.6 percent. The Nikkei 225 now rests just above the 48,625-point plateau although it's likely to bounce higher again on Tuesday. The global forecast for the Asian markets is mixed to higher, with support expected from the technology and oil sectors. The European markets were mixed and the U.S. bourses were up and the Asian markets figure to follow the latter lead. The Nikkei finished sharply lower on Friday following losses from the financial shares and technology stocks, while the automobile producers offered support. For the day, the index plummeted 1,198.06 points or 2.40 percent to finish at 48,625.88 after trading between 48,490.03 and 49,459.59.

The lead from Wall Street is strong as the major averages opened mixed on Monday but quickly turned higher and accelerated throughout the day, ending near session highs. The Dow advanced 202.86 points or 0.44 percent to finish at 26,448.27, while the NASDAQ surged 598.92 points or 2.69 percent to end at 22,872.01 and the S&P 500 climbed 102.13 points r 1.55 percent to close at 6,705.12. The rally on Wall Street came as traders continued to pick up stocks at relatively reduced levels after concerns about valuations and the outlook for interest rates weighed on the markets for much of last week.

A video of Robert F. Kennedy Jnr wrangling two snakes bare-handed captured the internet’s fascination on Tuesday, the latest animal encounter the US health secretary has shared publicly that has sparked intrigue and in some cases concern. Kennedy shared the clip of himself grabbing the tails of the non-venomous black racer snakes on his personal social media accounts, noting in the caption that he was removing them from the patio of Centres for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator Mehmet Oz. An avid outdoorsman, Kennedy has posted numerous photos and videos over the years of himself interacting with wild animals. He has also shared tales of such interactions, including admitting once planting a bear carcass in New York’s Central Park as a prank. Advertisement Internet users reacted with joy, incredulity and outcry at Kennedy’s latest clip, which shows the snakes biting in the direction of his fingers as Oz asks questions about the snakes. Kennedy’s wife, actress Cheryl Hines, can be heard saying “Why?” and telling her husband to let them go. Robert F. Kennedy Jnr and his wife Cheryl Hines appear at a political event in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in October 2023.

Key Points The company's HA gas turbines hit an important operational milestone. This was due, at least in part, to the power generation needs of facilities like data centers. 10 stocks we like better than GE Vernova › GE Vernova (NYSE: GEV) stock had a good start to the holiday-shortened trading week. The sprawling energy company is the largest gas turbine manufacturer in the world, and had positive news to share about these products. In reaction, investors traded the company's stock up by more than 3% on Tuesday. 4 million reasons to be cheerful Before market open, GE Vernova announced that its H-class gas turbine fleet surpassed 4 million commercial operating hours. The class, comprised of the 7HA and 9HA ultra-high-efficiency turbines, was introduced in 2016. Since then, the fleet has expanded to 128 units operating in 21 countries worldwide. All told, they have generated roughly 74 gigawatts of power plant capacity. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » In the press release touting this feat, GE Vernova quoted the CEO of its power segment, Eric Gray, as saying that "This milestone reflects the confidence our customers have placed in GE Vernova's HA technology and its established role in supporting flexible power generation around the world." He added that "as electricity demand rises and energy security is seen as national security, customers are increasingly focused on solutions that can deliver reliable, efficient, and more flexible power." Quite a money spinner Gas turbines are crucial to GE Vernova. Last year, more than half of the energy specialist's total orders were booked by its Power unit, which specializes in different types of turbines. In its press release, the company noted that the significant power needs of facilities like data centers are driving demand for such prod...

Building a resilient portfolio means thinking beyond a single asset or market trend. Economic cycles shift, sectors rise and fall, and no one investment performs well in every environment. That's why many investors look to diversify with platforms that provide access to real estate, fixed-income opportunities, professional financial guidance, precious metals, and even self-directed retirement accounts.

A Hong Kong medical technology firm manufacturing tailor-made body implants will expand research initiatives and explore setting up a factory in Central Asia, in a further collaboration which one expert said could also benefit the city. Koln 3D, Hong Kong’s first orthopaedic and metal component printing technology company, revealed its plan ahead of Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu’s coming visit to the region early next month. “For me, Central Asian countries are like Saudi Arabia 20 to 30 years ago. They are rich in oil and minerals, and will develop well in the future,” said Edmond Yau Wing-fung, the company’s founder and CEO. Advertisement “We hope to leverage our advanced technology to help [patients in] one country first, and gradually expand to the whole region.” Lee earlier announced that he would lead the largest-ever delegation of the current administration, consisting of more than 30 local business leaders and around 30 mainland Chinese entrepreneurs, to Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in early June. Advertisement Yau will be among the delegates and is expected to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the National Research Oncology Centre of Kazakhstan, the country’s leading cancer research institute.

Donny DBM/iStock via Getty Images After a strong start in January the market corrected largely due to the Strait of Hormuz crisis. Technology was the quarter's worst-performing S&P 500 sector, especially software-related companies which suffered from AI disruption fears, excessive stock-based compensation and high valuations. Adding to that were monetization concerns over a sizable increase in "hyperscaler" capital expenditures in excess of $660 billion. The conflict in Iran and resulting Strait of Hormuz shutdown effectively halted shipping of 20.5-21 million barrels per day of crude oil and refined products that pass through what is one of the world's most critical commodity corridors. This boosted energy, the best performing sector. Value outperformed growth with the Russell 1000 Value Index advancing 2.10% compared to a decline of 9.78% for the Russell 1000 Growth Index. Defense Spending on the Rise Geopolitical uncertainties over the last several years have brought about steadily increasing defense budgets, particularly in the United States which saw an increase from $715 billion in 2020 to just under $850 billion in 2025. For the first time ever, the 2026 budget exceeds $1 trillion. These increases have been driven by events like the Russia-Ukraine conflict as well as the war in Israel. Most recently, the US proposed a $1.5 trillion defense budget for 2027, citing factors like increasing global threats and the need for more domestic defense infrastructure. Lockheed Martin ( LMT ), Northrop Grumman ( NOC ) and RTX ( RTX ) stand to be among the largest beneficiaries of rising defense budgets, as all three are prime contractors for the US's proposed $185 billion "Golden Dome" nationwide missile defense system. General Dynamics ( GD ), meanwhile, serves as the prime contractor for the nation's $65.8 billion naval modernization effort. Boeing ( BA ) should see consistent revenue following their award of the F-47 next-generation aircraft contract, which is particula...

Key Points The S&P 500 has been climbing for eight weeks as investors feel more optimistic about stocks. The index has already gained more than 70% over the past three calendar years. 10 stocks we like better than S&P 500 Index › The S&P 500 has soared over the past three years amid expectations that artificial intelligence (AI) will represent the next big moment in technology. Investors rushed to get in on these stocks and other growth players, and that helped the index climb 78% over the three calendar years. The first quarter marked a pause in this momentum as investors worried about turmoil in Iran as well as the rapidity and depth of tech companies' AI spending -- but in recent weeks, the positive movement has returned. Investors are optimistic that a resolution in Iran is on the way, and strong earnings reports from tech companies and comments about high demand for AI have eased concerns about the long-term AI story. All of this has boosted the performance of stocks and the major indexes. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » In fact, the S&P 500 just did something for the first time in nearly 30 years. And history says this may happen next. AI stocks drive gains Before we take a look at the S&P 500's move, though, let's dive deeper into the index's ups and downs over the past year or so. As mentioned, AI stocks have driven much of the gain. Investors rushed to get in on these players during the early days of the AI story to fully benefit as the technology developed. During this stage, customers turned to AI companies such as chip giant Nvidia and cloud player Alphabet to access the capacity needed to train their large language models. These companies were among the first winners of the AI boom, as they very quickly generated revenue from their AI investments. Meanwhile, this boom ...
That change was announced just before the outbreak of the conflict in Iran. However the cap from July to September will reflect the 25% increase in the global price of gas caused by the war, particularly the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

ismagilov/iStock via Getty Images FuelCell Energy ( FCEL ), for me, is the stock where the story looks stronger than the actual business. I am not saying that this is an empty hydrogen company. Technology is real, clean power is logical, and AI data center electricity demand gives the company a better narrative in my opinion. But at the same time, it is a problem. FCEL currently is the company where pipeline needs to become contracts, contracts into revenues, revenues into gross profit, and gross profit in the end into real cash flow. For me, there are too many steps for this to become a bull thesis. Until FCEL shows a clearer path to profitable growth, I doubt that promises could be worth such a premium. The AI data center narrative is the strongest bull argument after backlog, but at the same time I believe it is overvalued. Data centers need a reliable source of electricity; uptime is also critically important, while U.S. grid problems are becoming more and more of a talking point nowadays. So, I understand that investors want to connect FCEL with AI infrastructure trade. The problem is that this connection is more of a potential, in my opinion, than a proven financial result. The company talks about more than 1.5 GW of new commercial offerings and SDCL cooperation, which could take up to 450 MW of data center and mission-critical power projects. It sounds excellent, but proposals do not mean revenue, and collaboration is not a final signed contract either. Simply, in my opinion, the market is trying to price in faster than the facts keep showing up. But we need to separate and see the line between a good story and a good stock, in my opinion. While the company is talking about more than 1.5 GW of new commercial offers and the SDCL partnership, which can be up to 450 MW of data center and mission-critical power projects. This sounds perfect, and I understand that many jumped on this as a picks and shovels strategy, but sadly, proposals are not revenue. I believe ...

Meta (META) co-founder and jujitsu devotee Mark Zuckerberg has all the characteristics of strong leaders and sports icons, says the king of the octagon and Meta board member, Dana White. The buzz: In a feature profile for Time, the UFC boss said he admires Zuckerberg’s smarts, competitive juices, and ability to keep time on meetings. He placed Zuck — who posted his grueling Murph workout on Instagram on Monday — in the same category of leaders as President Trump, billionaire activist investor Carl Icahn, and NBA legend Michael Jordan. “What I didn’t realize about Mark until I got on the board is Zuckerberg might be one of the biggest killers in the history of killers,” White said in the interview. White joined Meta’s board in January 2025, a move seen at the time as cozying up to Trump. White is a longtime friend of the president. Zuckerberg can’t claim that closeness with the president, although the relationship between the two appears to have thawed. Meta didn’t return Yahoo Finance’s request for comment. What’s behind the comments: Zuck is sure showing that ruthless side this year. Meta is cutting 10% of its employee count in a push to use artificial intelligence to drive better profits. The workforce cut equates to about 8,000 workers. Furthermore, Meta aggressively raised its full-year capital expenditure forecast to a staggering $125 billion to $145 billion, up from its previous projection of $115 billion to $135 billion. The move stunned Wall Street when it came on Meta’s late April earnings release. The stock was hammered and has since treaded water. The bottom line: It’s unclear how White’s comments will play in the next Meta board meeting. A ruthless Zuck could pay dividends for Meta over time, although the market isn’t liking that approach right now.
